Date Released: 4/23/2013. Series Name: CDC Kidtastics.

[Chris] Well, that’s a start Caydan, but there’s so much more we can do to help prevent tooth decay. We need to brush twice a day and use a toothpaste with fluoride. Ask your parents to make sure they’re buying the right kind.

[Karmen] Plus, it’s important to thoroughly brush the top, front, and back of every tooth.

[Chris] Another thing we can do is drink water instead of soda pop and fruit drinks.

[Caydan] Okay. I’m going to start brushing twice a day … and drink water. I want a healthy smile, not painful tooth decay.

[Karmen] Thanks for listening to CDC Kidtastics Radio. We’ll talk to you again soon. Until then... be a safer, healthier kid!!
